About the role

Reddit is a community of communities. It's built on shared interests, passion, and trust and is home to the most open and authentic conversations on the internet. Every day, Reddit users submit, vote, and comment on the topics they care most about. With 100,000+ active communities and approximately 101M+ daily active unique visitors, Reddit is one of the internet's largest sources of information. For more information, visit redditinc.com. The position is a mix of software engineering and cloud engineering; a lot of the time, we are writing software to implement important workflows that automate the operation of our vast production infrastructure. You will also work with our product teams to make the underlying Storage technologies work better for Reddit's main workloads, including defining and improving the application's data models and data access patterns, and lots of times, this also involves data-driven analysis and tuning of the Storage stack to make step function improvements to the end-to-end data path. Our caching layer servers 100s of millions of queries/second serving 100s of billions of keys. We are responsible for efficiently storing 100s of terabytes of data. As a senior engineer, you will partner closely with your team and our biggest users (ML/AI/Search) to build technical solutions that can scale to Reddit's product growth. You'll do this while maintaining an extremely high availability and reliability bar to ensure that Reddit's users continue to get a great experience across our entire product portfolio.
